In recent weeks, the police has made dozens of false arrests of demonstrators in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah. Among those arrested were Executive Directors of two leading Israeli human rights organizations - Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI), and Rabbis for Human Rights.
The Police's conduct intended to silence legitimate protest against the dispossession of Palestinians from their homes in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, and indicates a strong political agenda.
